Word For The Day, Tuesday September 9, 2014
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
flexuous [flek-shoo-uh s]
-adj
full of bends or curves; sinuous.
[1595-1605; < Latin flexuōsus full of turns, winding, crooked, equivalent to flexu (s) (see flex1) + -ōsus -ous]
en cambio [ehn KAHM-bee-oh]
however; on the other hand
En cambio, podríamos ir más bien mañana.
On the other hand, we could go tomorrow instead.
Come and get it.
Good Morning! I have to be flexuous to make my way through my house. The contents of 4 rooms and 3 closets (plus all the materials and tools for my new floor) are stuffed into the ajoining rooms. I have to pick my way through all this junk to get from room to room.
i knew a girl who was rather flexuous....
I’m up, I’m up. Some mornings I think I should drink coffee.
People admire that, along with punctuality. (Blue Thunder reference.)
Without coffee, I wouldn't trust what I was eating for breakfast.
En cambio, this word is silly since flexible makes more sense.
Also, I get cranky over extra syllables or vowels that don’t add anything to the meaning. Dilation vs dilatation drives me crazy. It’s redundanant.
oh, breakfast...good idea.
You just need to get orientated to it.
this is a HUGE song for twenty somethings all the bridesmaids, bride [and ME] were out there singing this at the top of our lungs.
Yes! That’s the other annoying one!
there are mice on the table............blah! I hate mice.
yes, I don’t care for the video, I had never seen it, but the song is GREAT. xsgirls were in elementary school when that song was big. xsnieces and xsgirls have all seen Backstreet Boys in concert, and like within the past few years too, not just when they were little. That song is on my ipod : )
Making Baptist girls dance. How very naughty. ;-)
In my field we also have “preventative” maintenance.
I made my Baptist preacher daughter SIL dance with me too. As well as xsteen’s MIL, who also doesn’t dance. EVERYONE had to dance at this wedding. As I heard it told by Bethany, they were at the cookie table, the song came on and she said to Mel, Sorry, I think we are going to have to go dance to this!
So, you were like Everybody. Dance. Now.
